We are looking for a Live Marketing Manager / Senior Manager to drive a diverse range of projects and initiatives for Live Marketing at King.

Your Role Within our Kingdom

This is an opportunity to join a highly valued and dynamic team that works with a wide range of functions across the business in a creative, challenging and collaborative environment, where your ideas will be as valued as your marketing and project management expertise.

Creating magical consumer- facing Events means always being at the cutting edge of our Marketing, so your role will always be evolving as new things come up!

Responsibilities include:

Driving Innovation

Promote and transform out- of- the- box ideas into a viable and profitable end to end implementation plan.

• Get master knowledge of our internal tools, identifying and translating needs/new functionalities to our Product Owners (game or tech side) and evaluate 3rd party technologies when needed, providing perspective and driving efforts for adoption.

• Collaborate with the games to build and operate a holistic calendar with relevant and exciting events on regular basis.
• Provide a game centric view of all our marketing activities to reach our players effectively, collaborating with the UX team to build outstanding customer journeys and ensuring the delivery of the right message at the right time to the right segment.
• Execute the events on the owned channels side (push notifications and in- game pop- ups) and coordinate the support of the different marketing teams, establishing effective project communication & tracking while ensuring a strong and quality delivery.
• Look for opportunities for automation.

Skills to Create Thrills

Above all you are passionate about marketing and have a strong interest in innovation.

Key skills:

• Experienced Marketeer with good strategic understanding and appreciation of broader marketing (especially CRM), working within a consumer internet or gaming business.
• Excellent communicator with superior presentation and influencing skills (English) who can bring people from different backgrounds together, building relationships internally and externally across all levels.
• True team player and change agent, with the ability to work autonomously as a key stakeholder for the marketing team, in a dynamic environment with high ambiguity.
• Experience in complex project leadership, both in cross- functional and multi- channel initiatives.
• A self- starter who is willing to take initiative, roll up sleeves and get things done.
• Ability to plan strategically, manage the prioritization of the operations and execute them.

Other skills:

• Experience with CRM campaign management tools (i.e. Salesforce), reporting tools (i.e. Looker), and agency/clients briefs and negotiation.
• Strong aptitude for identifying problems, troubleshooting issues and problem- solving.
• Creative mindset that uses a mix of strategy, intuition and data to deliver unique experiences to our players utilizing the different pillars of marketing and a deep understanding of the player lifecycle.
• Results- oriented, quality focused and player centric.
• Superior attention to detail, highly organized and comfortable operating both is multiple projects and in a technical environment.

Bonus Points

• Cultural: You will be smart, hard- working, low- ego and able to work in a fast- based business environment.
• International experience: King is an extremely international business (there are Candy Crush Saga players in Antarctica!) - so candidates with strong international experience are desirable.
• Industry: Solid understanding of the competition and industry or enthusiasm for games.

A great saga needs all sorts of heroes

Making games is fun. Especially when you do it with people that share the same idea of what makes a good workplace great. No matter where you’re from, it’s all about what we can achieve together when creating truly magical moments for all our players. That’s why we hire all sorts of talent - because a great saga needs all sorts of heroes.
